‘Chemistry’ has a long and distinguished history as a ‘core science’ in secondary and tertiary science education, and materials science is rapidly emerging as a major discipline in the tertiary sector. Hence, a strong case can be made to align traditional chemistry with materials science at all levels of science education to address climate change and global warming and thereby identify and address the key components of attaining environmental sustainability.
Keywords: Materials science, chemical education, clean energy, carbon neutral, climate change, environmental sustainability
